SCP on Mac (and a tool for Windows)

Tags

linux, tools

From http://web.presby.edu/support/Terminal/scp.html :

Downloading a file:

scp username@hostname:pathname/filename .

For example:

$ scp jtbell@web.presby.edu:/Library/WebServer/Documents/support/FireFTP/PopupMenu.jpg .

Don’t forget the space before the final “.”.

Dump of ~/.histfile while setting up a Tomcat instance

tomcat

Just because I keep having to do this over and over again, here’s a cheat sheet for setting up a tomcat instance…

sudo cp apache-tomcat-6.0.35.tar.gz /usr/local
cd /usr/local
sudo tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.35.tar.gz
ls
sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.35 /usr/local/tomcat
sudo groupadd tomcat 
sudo useradd -g tomcat -c "Tomcat User" -d /usr/local/tomcat tomcat
sudo passwd tomcat TomTheCat
sudo chown tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat
sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.35
sudo mkdir /usr/local/tomcat_ect
sudo chown tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat_ect
sudo cp -pr /usr/local/tomcat/* /usr/local/tomcat_ect/
cd /usr/local/tomcat_ect
cd conf
sudo nano server.xml
cd /etc
cd init.d
sudo service httpd stop
sudo chkconfig --del httpd
sudo iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
sudo iptables-save
ls /etc/init.d/
sudo nano /etc/init.d/iptables
sudo cp tomcat_ect /etc/init.d/
sudo nano /etc/init.d/tomcat_ect
ls -la /etc/init.d
ls -la /etc/init.d/
sudo chkconfig --add tomcat_ect
sudo chkconfig --level 234 tomcat_ect on          
sudo service tomcat_ect start
cd /usr/local/tomcat_ect/conf
sudo nano tomcat-users.xml
sudo service tomcat_ect stop
sudo service tomcat_ect start
cd /usr/local/tomcat_ect/bin
ls
sudo nano catalina.sh
sudo service tomcat_ect stop
sudo service tomcat_ect start

New VPS server testing

Tags

hosting, minecraft, PieServ, vps

Checking out a new VPS service with two new hosts. One of them is a Minecraft server. Needless to say, I have high hopes. I’ve never paid for Minecraft hosting before.

I’ll be posting some once my new PieServ game server is online. (1st ding against them, it’s been “pending” for about an hour. The other VPS host, a CentOS box, was up and running instantly…)

Tomcat memory error starting an application: http://www.mkyong.com/tomcat/tomcat-javalangoutofmemoryerror-permgen-space/

Jenkins/Maven generate WAR file missing files (and additional directories) from inside /WEB-INF/classes/ event though MyEclipse was building it correctly.
added the following to the pom.xml file…

      <resource>
      	<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
      	<filtering>false</filtering></resource>

Configure Apache Tomcat to use Apache httpd web server

Tags

linux, tomcat

see this: http://fijiaaron.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/configuring-an-apache-virtualhost-to-use-tomcat/

and here’s a sample from my /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/a-vhost-config.conf:

ProxyRequests Off

AddDefaultCharset Off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all

ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8019/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8019/

Created /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties:

# Define 1 real worker using ajp13
worker.list=worker1
# Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8019

 

Networking fails moving VirtualBox Linux guest to another host

(because the mac changed)
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27220

…and the mac address in the eth0 config file at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifconfig-eth0 needs to match the mac address in the rules file at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules…

The gist is…

You can edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or you can delete the rules and Linux will configure it on the next boot.

Or bypass the whole issue and use the same mac address as the original vm…which shouldn’t be a problem behind different NAT firewalls(?)
